SAP-SD job advice

Hi,
I am about to take SAP SD Training from Genovate. I have done BCA and then MBA in IT. I have worked for HCL as a management trainee for 6 months and then i got married hence left the job. Now i have been at home for about an year. Can you please tell me what kind of job opportunities can I get? Will it be difficult for me to get a job?

Toolbox sap-careerInstitutes like Genovate,JKT,Seimens etc are SAP
Authorised training centres & not Naukri.coms,they provide you quality
training,Its upto the individual to put his/her efforts to find a good
job.They can provide you options but its your calibre that will fetch you a
job.
Ms.Radhadas:SD is not the right module for you,if your programming concepts
are good go for ABAP.For SD you should have Sales experience which you do
not have.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Rinku Chauhan

Dear Radha,
In my opinion you have to practice once again on the basis of some real time
blue print. Market is surging if you will put your efforts you will get the
job but as you are married decide yourself can you manage consulting Job? as
sometime you may have to travel.
Good luck!

Genovate is a real good Institute for SAP Trainings.With your MBA in IT background and SAP SD Certification you should be able to find a Job. But given the Global economic Situation, things have got tough and also competition is tremendous. To get into the Consulting at Entry level you will have to keep trying. I would also like to mention that just certification will not help, you will have to get real time Implementation experiences. The Certification course is an Investment of Money,Efforts and Time, so think for yourself before you go ahead!!!
All the Best.

Hi,
6 months as a management trainee is hardly in-depth domain
experience, and does not give you knowledge to an expert
level. Before you start taking expensive courses I would
suggest you should look for a job as a trainee in business
and / or SAP. Get your hands on a system and work at
learning it, whatever it is. You need practical experience
before you can get a real job.

Hi RadhaS,
Your idea about doing SAP-SD training is appreciable, job is not so easy to
get, as every company is asking for experienced candidates. Look for some
good Institutes and try to do some projects there then you will clearly
understand
what is the job prosperity in SAP-SD. Since your back ground is MBA(IT)
with Management Trainee experience, SD module training is a better choice
for you. Don't read too much between the lines, as every module has its own
scope. You can also browse some sites like
www.webstarts.com/ERP-PROJECTS for some useful information. Once you
complete the training, start
attending interview. Nowadays it's not so easy to get selected as SAP
consultant by just doing the course itself, instead you get through FAQ for
SD and realtime tips as this is always more expected in the technical
discussion of interview. All the best to you.
Thanks

Everybody is discussing abt genovate, seimens etc, but my point is why doesn't radha select CRM over SD? If you (radha) explore the market then you'll come to know that the SD is saturated.So potentiality of getting a break through SD would be lil harder.Try for CRM. All the Best.

absolutely rite the below conversation... but one thing can you ppl think
without knowing anything about SD there is no way you can learn CRM..... CRM
is an upgrade of SD i agree with that.... CRM is purely about services.....
when you will get a service after the sale only....just think ..... isin't
true...

Radha,
Genovate is good institute, they have placements as well as, but you need to
work hard
so that you can meet there expectations.
After learning SD try to upgrade yourself by learning CRM as well.
Added adv : Technical + Function al knowlegde will be benfited.
All the best
Thank you,
Sonia

Hi Radha,
I would Advice you to select MM or PP module because it is most demaning
module.
Most of the Marketing MBAs go for SD so there are many SD consultants.
Now a days MM and PP consultant have good Demand in the market.
Best Of Luck.

Hi all,
Thanks a lot to you all...I really appreciate that you all took out time to
reply to my query.
I just spoke to a person who had posted an Ad on Naukri.com for SAP training
in CRM. To me he sounded like a fraud but, im not sure. He mentioned some
institute in Delhi called SAPGURU. Does anyone has any idea about it? He
said he charges Rs 1 Lakh & offers written guarantee for job within a month.
Thanks again,
Please keep me updated about your views.
Regards,
Radha.

Hi all,
Well my husband is a Singapore Permanent Resident so, in turn, I also become
a PR of Singapore in 2-3 months. In my understanding, SAP-SD certified ppl
hav a lot of job opportunities in Singapore. Can somebody throw some light
on this?
Thanks & Regards,
Radha

Hi,
If you search for SAP SD jobs on Naukri, you get 90% of the postings are posted by SAPGURU. They sound very kool and assured you with the job assistance. I had done enough research in the beginning of my career. Though I may not rate them as a fraud I personal suggest not to go with SAPGURU. What they promise is not possible in practicality.
The BEST way what I suggest you is don't FOCUS much on job opportunities though the end result for you to build career in SAP. Enroll yourself in a local institute and try to spend as much time as you can on IDES(Demo) system. Once you build confidence then the next step is try to interact with real time users and understand the business process and real time scenarios. At that time you can think about the certification if required. It also helps you to clear certification very easily by doing the above process. Though it's a time consuming process but believe me it makes you to land in safe zone. I am drawing this conclusion based on the amount of research and struggle I had undergone to build my career in SAP. Let me know if you have any questions.
Yes, you find a lot of job opportunities in Singapore. They rate very high for certified consultants.
I wish you all the very success.
Thanks,

Hi Radha,
Just check, in CRM which version he is teaching. Right now CRM 2007 is there
in the marker, but recently CRM 7.0 comes into the market. If you are
trained with latest topics, its really great for you to find a job easily.
But if you are not with latest topics you will also be in the pool of people
who is already with old versions of CRM.
Even if he offers job in Written, ask him the period of guarantee for your
job. After joining the company, if they sacked you after a month or two
months you will be in trouble. If you got a job as per his promise what
would be the pay?
Check all these with him, after knowing these things yourself you can get an
idea what to do. Finally you are the right person to decide about your
careerpath.
All the best.
